What’s Included?
This pack contains pretty much everything you need to set up a coffee cart in your classroom, with editable options and templates for you to use too.
- Accountancy – Weekly trackers; Income tracker, expenses tracker, income & expenses tracker.
- Advertising – Poster templates for your students to use in order to advertise the new coffee cart.
- Awards – 2 certificate templates for each award: ‘Employee of the Week’ and ‘Employee of the Month.’
- Bunting – ‘Coffee Cart’ bunting for you to use to decorate.
- Business Discussion Pack – I love to bind this together as a finished book when completed so that we can use it as evidence for the work that the students did when setting up this business. It includes room for brainstorming ideas and working out exactly what the business will be.
- Customer Feedback – Notes for your customers to fill in to give you feedback on how your coffee cart is going and how your students are performing.
- Easy Set-Up Guide – Use this to walk you through all the different pieces included in this pack and how to use them.
- Employee Rota – A visual rota so that you, your staff and your students can see who is working the coffee cart and when.
- Job Skills – Job vacancy adverts. Job application forms for students to fill in. Job descriptions to remind students what their job entails. Interview questions for you to use if conducting interviews with students to apply for the jobs. These all come ready filled out – but there’s also templates included so that you can edit these and make your own up too.
- Labels – We all know how much easier things can run in our classrooms when we have visuals. So there’s a range of labels included for you to use.
- Letter to Management – Use this letter template to write a letter to your management team asking for permission for your coffee cart.
- Letter to Families – Use this letter template to write a letter to your students families asking for permission for them to work on your classroom coffee cart.
- Loyalty Cards – These are a great way to reward your customers who are purchasing from your classroom coffee cart. Customers purchase 9 drinks – then they have their 10th drink free.
- Menu – This template is perfect for you to create menus for your students to hand out so people know what is available on your classroom coffee cart.
- Name Tags – These come with a few different options, and some will fit into lanyard holders too. Students will feel more ‘official’ when they have name tags when working on the coffee cart.
- Order Forms – These order forms are a great way to get your students out and communicating with their customers, taking orders, and recording the data. Then, students read off the order forms in order to complete the orders.
- Pay – If you intend to ‘pay’ your students for working on the coffee cart each week, these are included for you to use. It helps the coffee cart to feel more official – and again treats it more like a job, where your students can work on important job skills.
- Reminder Posters – We hang these posters up around our coffee cart and they are great reminders for the students for what they should be doing when working the coffee cart. I.e – Wash your hands.
- Reminder Cues – I like to provide my students with visual reminder cues when working on the coffee cart. I.e ‘Would you like to order anything from our coffee cart?’ ‘Would you like milk and sugar?’ I print, cut, laminate and hole punch these then put them together as keyrings for my students to wear and refer to when needed.
- Shopping Lists – We love checking how much stock we have left of different things for our classroom coffee cart. Then we put together weekly shopping lists for what we need to buy.
- Signs – Open and Closed. Includes room for days/times to be added.
- Social Stories – ‘Applying for a Job’ and ‘Working on the Coffee Cart’ are both included. These are great to use when you’re first introducing the coffee cart to your students. It gives them a visual reference for what will happen.
- Survey – We always hand out this survey before we set up the coffee cart each year. I send students around the classrooms to hand out the surveys. Then, at the end of the week they go back around and collecting the surveys. We spend time together looking at the data from the surveys and how we can use this with our coffee cart. I.e What drinks are the most popular?
